This research employs a navigated multi-shot DWI, termed
Navigator-MUSE, to enhance image quality. This novel 16
shot DWI technique is capable of improving spatial
resolution (0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 mm3) while also eliminating
aliasing artifacts and geometric distortions. We
demonstrate that Navigator-MUSE is capable of minimizing
aliasing artifacts due to brain pulsation in highly
susceptible regions like the brain stem without
significant scan-time penalties.
